More Meat in the Fridge

The six Cornish Cross chickens have been processed.  We had two roos and four pullets (two male and four female). Collectively, we ended up with 45 pounds of chicken after processing. So that's pretty good.  We spent about $90 on feed, but factor in that they also pastured. No antibiotics, no chemicals, no hormones. We have our winter chicken meat "resting" in a refrigerator for a few days, then they will be frozen for use over the winter months. We still have a 10 pounder left over from last spring. The plan is to roast him this weekend. In some ways, it is a lot of work, but for the assurance of what we are going to eat, it feels about right.
